'High octane SF adventure with Smith's trademark twist' Jamie Sawyer, author of The Lazarus War
'An exceptional talent' Peter F Hamilton

In FRIENDLY FIRE, the Bastard Legion are hired to pull off a daring power-armoured heist of propriety tech.

A crime-ridden colony world holds the secret to a potential alien contact, and various groups of mercenaries have been hired to discover it. None of the rest of them have little bombs implanted in their heads, though, so the Bastards have an advantage when it comes to motivation. And Miska, their commander and kidnapper both, is still on the hunt for the people who killed her father.

People who might still be among her convicts.

Getting the tech will be hard. Getting off the planet, deadly.

'a brutal kaleidoscope of imagination' Hannu Rajaniemi, author of The Quantum Thief

Review

FRIENDLY FIRE is rendered with such cinematic clarity and loving detail. Humanity in the cosmos, warts and all. Think maglevs and mafia, yawning cored-out asteroids and Yakuza, this is part crime, part espionage, reminiscent of the best of Banks, this is science fiction you won't want to miss. ― Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater

High octane SF adventure with Smith's trademark twist ― Jamie Sawyer --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Book Description

A 'Dirty Dozen' or 'Suicide Squad' for lovers of 'Aliens', THE BASTARD LEGION series is a down and dirty military SF set in a world of mercenary actions and covert operations. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Fulfilling the potential...

Reviewed in Australia on 20 January 2018

I may be like CIA agent Raff in that I’m a little bit in love with Miska. She’s a reckless anti-hero with real b!tch tendencies but man does she have some chutzpah! Great characters, world building, combat, plot twists and general mind-fudgery. And really big guns. Everything I want in my Sci Fi. Loving’ it.

Fun read, added character depth, expanded lore, and an ending that left me intrigued to know what happens next.

Following on from the previous book, Miska is once again continuing her rampaging (technically a cover for her careful investigation in to her dad’s death). This book seemed more action packed than the last version, but like with the Hangman’s Daughter, the action happens for reasons, and there are still respites in action giving character's a chance to reflect upon things.
Several of the prisoners get more of the story’s spotlight. I’ll avoid spoilers, but the story absolutely makes things more personal for some of them, which affects the squad, and their understandable paranoia about their chances of survival. Building upon the previous book, and my comparison to something like Gaunt’s Ghosts in regards to character death, and the impact upon the mission and the individuals is quite evident in this book.
Whilst there are big questions still outstanding, which given this is a series that makes sense and should be expected, I felt this book added more depth to the book’s universe. By the end of the book I felt more connections to past events a lot had been added to the setting, and whilst some readers may question this part way through, I think the story builds towards proving this point at the end.
In summary: Fun read, added character depth, expanded lore, and an ending that left me intrigued to know what happens next.

A rip-roaring heist with the Bastards hired to steal an alien artefact

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2019

Verified Purchase

The second book in The Bastard Legion series is a rip-roaring heist with the Bastards hired to steal an alien artefact from a corrupt world riddled with gang warfare - a world where some of her enslaved mercenaries are from, which complicates matters.

Lots of guns, gadgets, fancy advanced tech and military action fill the pages as the plan gets very messy on contact with the gangs and opposition. The action is great and the pace is frantic. If you liked the first book you will love this one!

Unsophisticated romp

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2017

Verified Purchase

A mixture of hi-tech space opera, combat story from any war and high octane adventure. Basically the plot is come up with hare brained scheme, use bull at a gate tactics, shoot at anything that moves and then come out of it a bit scarred, careworn and with fewer “Bastards” but successful and paid. Not to everyone’s taste or for those with no taste at all.

Great sequel

Really enjoyed the first book and this sequel did not disappoint. Interesting characters, tonnes of well imagined and visualized action and interesting layers in addition to the brutal main plot line.

Eager for next Novel

Reviewed in Canada on 18 March 2018

Verified Purchase

A strong and funny female lead with salty language ,surrounded by criminals of many different backgrounds with a dash of cyberpunk thrown in. This is the second novel in the series and I enjoyed it immensely. Take my money Mr. Smith I can't wait for the next novel.
